different input sources and Enhance boosts audio quality through high and low frequency
equalization. With these technologies, users experience better home theater audio with

sound. Consumers can then connect their PC to a home theater system.DTS Interactive
is capable of performing multi-channel encoding of DTS bitstreams on personal
computers, and sending encoded bitstreams out of a digital audio connection (such as
S/PDIF or HDMI) designed to deliver audio to an external decoder.
